Where IV therapy accounting goes wrong
The problems specific to this model.
Per-visit and membership revenue blended
A walk-in $150 drip and a $99/month membership drip are fundamentally different revenue types — one transactional, one recurring — blended together, you can’t forecast cash flow or see which model is actually growing.
Per-treatment supply costs untracked
IV bags, vitamins, and saline are a real cost every single treatment. Without per-treatment COGS tracking, gross margin on your most popular drips is a guess, not a number.
RN payroll structured like standard clinical staff
Per-diem and hourly nurses administering drips, sometimes with per-treatment incentives, need payroll and comp structures different from a standard clinical hire — most bookkeeping treats them the same.
Multi-location or mobile-unit margins invisible
A storefront clinic and a mobile IV unit have very different cost structures. Rolled into one P&L, you can’t tell which format is actually worth expanding.
How we help
What that looks like in practice.
Per-visit and membership revenue tracked separately
Two clean revenue lines — transactional and recurring — so you can forecast cash flow and see which side of the business is actually growing.
Per-treatment COGS tracked by drip type
IV bags, vitamins, and saline costed per treatment, so gross margin on every drip type is a real number, not a guess.
RN payroll structured for per-diem and incentive pay
Payroll built around how your nursing staff actually works — per-diem, hourly, or per-treatment incentive — not forced into a standard clinical-hire template.
Location and format-level P&Ls
Storefront and mobile-unit economics reported separately, so you know which format is actually worth expanding.
